I had to uninstall Origin then delete BF3 folder and reinstall Origin and re download and install BF3 as Origin claimed it was never installed. WTF? EA you suck!!!

Was it a problem after repair or update?
If so, check out this post

New Battlefield Blog Post: New Squad interface, Battlelog features, server abilities in today's Battlefield 3 update

BY: HBrun POSTED: Nov 21, 2011, 04:33AM COMMENTS: 61

We will soon publish a major client update for the PC version Battlefield 3 as well as a server-side update for all platforms. The update will be made on Nov. 22nd 7:00 AM UTC / Nov. 21st 11:00 PM PST. We’ll share release timing on the console patches as soon as we are clear on the timing, these take a bit longer due to console certification process.

As always, if you have any feedback or want to discuss these changes head to the Battlelog forums. We appreciate your feedback!

NOTE
Battlefield 3 will have a scheduled down time on Nov 22 between 07:00-09:00 AM UTC, during which you will not be able to play the game.

PATCH NOTES
Selected improvements in the Nov 22 Battlefield 3 client-side update

A full list of changes is available on the Battlelog
• General performance and loading time improvements
• "Black Screen" fix for an issue occurring on some PC configurations
• Stereo and rendering support for Nvidia and AMD graphics cards
• Fixed several crashes that occurred when joining multiplayer and co-op sessions
• Fixed a problem with high speed mouse movement (aka "negative mouse acceleration")
• You should no longer be able to damage a friendly vehicle when sitting in an open position
• Grenades now drop to ground if you get killed while attempting to throw it (dangerous in Hardcore mode!)
• You should no longer spawn too close to enemies in TDM, SQDM, or Conquest
• A large number of damage and range tweaks on a number of weapons to fine-tune overall balance in the game
• Added round duration and ticket summary at End of Round screen
• Fixed a problem regarding key bindings while playing
• Significant changes to the Join Squad interface, detailed at the bottom of this post

Selected improvements in the Nov 22 Battlefield 3 PC server-side update highlights
A full list of changes is available on the Battlelog
• EOD Bot exploit fix
• Several crash fixes
• Anti-stat padding measures taken, disallowing ranked servers to run obscure settings
• Improved team kill kick configuration
• Support for unranked servers. Unranked servers do not report players' scores to Battlelog, but server administrators can freely control all settings

Newly added Battlelog functionality – Share your stats

• Ability to share your Profile and Stats pages to Facebook, Google+, and Twitter
• User Profile and Stats pages on Battlelog can now be accessed without being signed in to Battlelog if you know a user's URL
• Single sign on from Battlelog to Origin. If you're not logged in to Origin and join a game server, Battlelog will automatically sign you in to Origin in the background and join the game server

Quick notes on Squad changes in the Nov 22 update

• Removed FIND ME A SQUAD option
• Allow players to join empty Squads alone, thus having 1/4 squad members
• Change order of options to LEAVE SQUAD, INV A FRIEND, SWITCH TEAM
• Disable Privacy flag when 1 man squad
• Reset Privacy flag from Private to Public when squad drops to 1 player
• All occupied Squads will now show up colored blue on the Squad Selection screen
• Players who choose not to join squads will also show up as Blue in the "Not in a Squad” line
• Squads that are currently empty will display as white -- if you wish to join an empty Squad, you can choose the first one marked with white text

A detailed look at Squad refinements

Today's PC client patch features numerous tweaks to Squad functionality and is part of our ongoing efforts to make it easier to play with friends and Platoon mates. These changes will also be implemented for consoles when we release the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 updates shortly. Stay tuned for the exact date of the console updates.

First, we need to look at how joining with Squads and Platoons affects the balance of teams. Initially, servers are commanded to equal out each side, so joining with friends can impact that balance while joining with Platoons further hinders this. As a result we have made some adjustments to the in-game Squad management screen.

For PC, you are now able to highlight the various Squads and select which one you wish to join by selecting a Squad and then clicking the Join Squad button. Please note that the Squad Privacy option still allows 2 man Squads which, during 64 player sessions, can lead to players with no squad position –- the number of people with no Squads will be shown at the bottom of the Squad selection list.

After the patch is applied to consoles (in the near future) you will be able to join Squads by cycling through the list and selecting which Squad you wish to join.

That's it for this latest set of updates. Let us know what you think of the changes in the Battlelog forums. Thanks for playing, and see you on the battlefield!

Thanks erocker! But it is 'cool' to give schedules in a press release but not on the 'server down, come back later' battlelog page were it should be in first place...

Anyway, I have so much work this week that I may only be able to--- quickly read press releases and the forum...

Check if your BF.exe is in your BF3 folder. It may be there but with some weird extension

 

[erixx]

Man what a mess!!!! (here it is ok, but I)

Maybe all these errors are on Origin's side?

 

[HammerON]

I went to play BF3 tonight and found that it wanted me to install the game. The trick I found that worked was to go into Origin and click on the settings icon and then choose "Refresh My Games". This started the update to work and within minutes I was playing again

 

[H82LUZ73]

Mine updated with no problem .....maybe try just closing Origin reboot and restart Worked for me and the update was 459 mb ....

[catnipkiller]

Id say make a back up of your game files. I was able to xfre bf3 from my main pc to my laptop and my other pc with out any problems. all i was was more the 2 folder into program files then install origins over it and it worked.

On another note ups is a joke. never use them.
